Skills
LLM Gateway
Routes requests from LLM clients to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other providers, injecting provider keys so users never handle shared API keys.
MCP Server Proxying
Aggregates tools and resources from remote MCP servers behind one /v1/mcp endpoint, with deny-by-default grants tied to Tailscale identity.
Coding Agent Launcher
Configures and launches coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode against the gateway with the alpha Aperture CLI.
Tailnet Provisioning
Joins a new application, service or machine to your tailnet through the built-in Tailnet connector, with an admin approving each new machine.
Tailscale SSH Commands
Discovers tailnet machines with Tailscale SSH enabled and runs shell commands on them through the built-in Tailscale SSH connector.
